How do I dispose of paint?

  • If the paint cans are completely empty, bring them to the landfill
  • If there is still paint in the cans, remove the lids and fill them with dirt, oil dry, or kitty litter, and mix it up. Leave the lids off for 48-72 hours. This will harden the paint enough that it should be able to be disposed of in the landfill. Replace the lid and bring it to the landfill and we can determine if it is acceptable.
